5 /5 Taylor McCoy: Hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Athens. Zaire is truly exceptional... friendly, funny, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being overbearing, and impressively timely. Every recommendation he made was spot on.
We came in on a Monday and accidentally landed on Sinatra Night!!!!! DO. NOT. MISS. IT. Ray Allen on the piano went completely above and beyond: learned our names, sang songs to us, and made the night feel so personal and special. Absolute 10/10. We danced our asses off.
My husband ordered the tomahawk and WOW... the cowboy butter (another Zaire recommendation) was unreal. I had the NY strip, which was excellent. The only thing I’d change next time is swapping the red skin mashed potatoes for a different side, they were fine, but everything else was outstanding. Green beans were surprisingly salty and garlic-y perfection and my steak was just PERFECT. Wine recommendation was phenomenal, dinner was incredible, and the overall experience exceeded expectations.
Philly egg rolls were delicious, loved the whipped butter with rolls, and next time we’ll definitely try the fried green tomatoes or seafood. This has officially replaced our usual Braselton go-to and honestly beats our longtime favorite in Athens. We’re already planning to come back on another Monday or Thursday. Sorry for the long review, it was really THAT good.
Do yourself a favor and GO.
